The Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL appears to be a mid-ranger, with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB storage, LTE and a large 720P screen, but unusually only has a Snapdragon 210 processor, which we associate with lower-end devices.

According to evLeaks the handset is expected in December this year.

Microsoft has not announced their plans for the lower-end of their range, but we have already seen a number of handsets announced by Blu and Acer which fills in that slot, suggesting even if Microsoft does not step up we will not be short of choice.
